A student who finds it necessary to withdrawal from the program should first confer with the program director. The program reserves the right to request withdrawal of any students whose health, work or conduct is considered detrimental to the health and safety of themselves, other students, faculty or patients. The EICC/SCC Health Information Management program reserves the right to recommend to the Dean of Students or the Dean of Instruction, the dismissal of a student for any reason, such as unsafe PPE practices, health problems that interfere with progression of the program, violation of policies or procedures, and not meeting technology requirements. Program core courses should be completed in a three year time span. Students who fail to have all required paperwork submitted to the program in order to complete their Professional Practice Experience will also be subject to dismissal from the program. The student has the right to appeal the dismissal recommendation.
If a student takes a leave of absence from the program for more than three consecutive semesters, and wishes to return to the program, there previous course progress will be re-evaluated and a new academic plan may be applied. Due to the every changing policies and procedures in healthcare there is no exception to this stipulation. Healthcare is constantly changing and we want the student to be successful, what they learned previously, may be obsolete on the National Exam. Exceptions will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
